| Lawyers launch long march |
| 2008-06-10 |
| About 1,000 lawyers and political activists gathered in Karachi and Quetta on Monday to embark on a long march aimed at reinstating the judges sacked by President Pervez Musharraf. The lawyers will travel through several major cities on the way to a demonstration in Islamabad scheduled for Thursday. In Karachi, protesters gathered at the Sindh High Court Bar Association (SHCBA) in the morning, where Justice (r) Sabihuddin Ahmed and Justice (r) Fakhruddin G Ebrahim addressed them. Earlier, SHCBA President Justice (r) Rasheed A Razvi, former SHCBA president Munir Malik and Karachi Bar Association President Mahmoodul Hasan addressed a general body meeting of the SHCBA. Justice Ebrahim said the rally was not against an individual or political party but aimed at “the supremacy of the Constitution of Pakistan and solidarity of the country”. He rejected the constitutional reforms package proposed by the Pakistan People’s Party (PPP) as “a sheer waste of time”. |
